The two ways:
Use bin2c and store it as a byte array ;
Use objcopy to give it start, end, size symbols and link it into k3flasher.

I was hoping the author would have time to do that for us.
But we may need a volunteer with time on their hands to crank one out for us.

PS: Most modern Linux distributions can run the ATK installer to unpack it using Wine (mine did, and that's an old version of Wine).
But I agree with your point - an unnecessary complication for a Linux-Noobie
Wait a minute? Can it be embedded in a GPL binary? I thought that was forbidden due to "GPL infection".

Or is k3flasher not GPL?
